Tips on Instant Pot Chickpea Stew

Tomatoes - Smoking the tomatoes on the fire directly adds a beautiful smokiness to the dish.That said, if you don't have access to fire, you can grill them on highest temperature in the oven or used canned fire roasted tomatoes.

If you can't get your hands on either of the above, use normal canned tomatoes or fresh tomatoes blended.

Chickpeas - Use canned chickpeas or cook them on your own with dried beans.Boil the dried chickpeas with 3 times the water for 35 minutes in the instant pot on HIGH pressure.

Spices - You can also use Ras al hanout if you have it with you.
